Benefits of Underfloor Heating vs Conventional Heating

Underfloor heating systems are a perfect way to

create warm comfort within living areas such as

bathrooms, kitchens and conservatories.

The heating system is placed close to the floor

surface and due to the even heat distribution

upside you are getting the optimum heating

climate in your room. Warm feet / Cool Heads

Warmfloor heating systems can be used both

as a central heating unit and as a supplemental

system. It is always our recommendation to

partner your heating system with insulation; this

lowers heat up times significantly and further

increases efficiency.

Electric underfloor heating systems nowadays

are low cost, value for money, reliable and are

an energy efficient solution to keeping your

family warm. Electric underfloor heating is fast

becoming more and more popular in the modern

home. Eliminating the need for wall mounted

heaters which restrict the true size of your room

and overall design.

The installation of these underfloor heating

systems and insulation has been made to

provide the user with simplicity and peace of

mind, there is literally a minimal thought process

to the eventual layout to the system.

Underfloor Heating far surpasses conventional heating due to the even distribution and lack temperature loss, heat rises up through the floor and decreases in temperature as it reaches the height of the room. Conventional heating forces hot air directly up and once circulated decreases in temperature.

What does it cost to run?Your new luxury heating system will only cost 6p/m2 to run per 8hr day!

Introducing The Product Range


Which System & Size?

Mat or Loose cable systems

• Mat systems are used in all types of rooms which are generally a regular shape with few obstructions like a large square living room

• Loose lay Cable systems are used when the room shape and size is bit more unusual, where you find it difficult to use conventional

matting systems

Which wattage & why?

WFS have a range of power outputs which are selected dependant on their application and end user requirements.

We suggest the following as a simple guide to which is best suited for their general purpose.

100W/sqm output: This range is generally used for simple floor warming within bathrooms and wet rooms. As a secondary heat source where other heating is available such as radiators and tow-el rails, this is the most economical floor warming system available.

160W/sqm output: This range is used for simple floor warming within living areas where primary heating is not essential and there are other sources of heating available such as radiators. This can also be used as a primary heat source in some circumstances when used in conjunction with flooring insulation.

200W/sqm output: This range is the high-est wattage available for underfloor heating systems. This is used for floor warming or as primary heating source in all room types and high heat loss areas like conservatories providing a full heating solution.

How do I know which size to choose?With some time and planning you can safely select which size system you require for your project. If you follow these simple measurement steps coupled with the wattage information above you can select you’re the exact system for your needs.

1. Measure your room – length x width. This gives you your total floor area; please note this is not your heated floor area

2. Measure all fitted fixtures and fittings (if applicable.This will be deducted from your total floor area

3. Now deduct 5-10% from your walkable or heated area and round down to your nearest size available from the chosen wattage output table found on page 5.

Example: Typical Bathroom MeasurementWe have a standard bathroom which measures total area of 9.0sqm total area, we have a bath, toilet and sink unit which total 2.1sqm.

Calculation:9.0 – 2.1 = 6.9sqm 6.9 – 10% = 6.21sqm

Mat/Cable selection: WFS600-6.0 or GB840-5.6-7.0

Loose lay cable output: The loose lay cable system output can be varied dependant on what the specific requirements are. The output gen-erally ranges from 100W – 160W per square meter, this is simply adjusted by the cable spacing created between the heating elements during planning and installation. A simple spacing calculation can determine the cable spacing and subsequent power output created; this can be found in the loose lay cable installation instructions in this manual.

Basic Installation Steps

Typical Underfloor

HeatingBreakdown

All of our kits come complete with clear and informative installation instructions, but as a quick guide to what is involved with installing your underfloor heating system we have prepared these basic steps.

Step 1: Draw a plan of how you intend to fit your mat/s.

Step 3: Roll out your first mat onto your floor mesh side down. The fibre mesh will be held in place and can be repositioned several times untill you a happy with placement.

Step 5: Position the floor sensor (contained inside thermostat box), halfway between the two runs of heating elements, this should be chased into the sub floor and placed inside the corrugated tube.

Step 4: Cut across the fibre mesh when you reach an obstruction, Do not cut the cable, then flip the mat around and start laying it in the opposite direction.

Step 2: Ensure the sub-floor is solid level, clean and dust free. Wooden floors can be reinforced with ply board or suitable tile backer board.

Step 6: Completely cover heating elements with flexible self-levelling compound or tile adhesive ensuring they are fully encapsulated leaving no air pockets.

Advanced hydronic system, High Quality Pex-a Pipe, Uniform heat distribution, Advanced manifold and blending components, Unique pipe matrix design platform

Underfloor heating uses low temperature constant flow to evenly distribute heat through the floor area of a building. This type of heating is called radiant. Using the emitter in such a way demands less from the heat source i.e. boiler, thus reducing energy consumption by up to 30%. Not only is our underfloor heating system more efficient but radiant heating is more comfortable than convection as the heat transfers to nearby objects. Warm feet, cool heads – this has always been our motto.

• More energy efficient thus reducing utility bills - Up to 30% less to operate an underfloor heating system as opposed to traditional radiators

• When used in conjunction with air source heat pumps even greater reduction in savings

• Even distribution of heating unlike radiators, which produce only convection heating

• Cleaner environment, Dust free due to lowered air movement

• Virtually maintenance free• Very easy to control• Suitable for all floor coverings such as tile,

carpet, wood and vinyl’s
